depress the pedals fully and so that 
your arms bend slightly at the 
elbow when gripping the steering 
wheel. ( P.120)

D
●Do not adjust the position of the 
driver’s seat while driving. 
Doing so could cause the driver to lose 
control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the 
driver or passenger and the seatback. 
A cushion may prevent correct pos-
ture from being achieved, and reduce 
the effectiveness of the seat belt and 
head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front 
seats. 
Objects placed under the front seats 
may become jammed in the seat 
tracks and stop the seat from locking in 
place. This may lead to an accident 
and the adjustment  mechanism may 
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit 
when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take 
regular breaks before you start to feel 
tired. 
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while 
driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immedi-
ately.

1To fasten the seat belt, push the 
plate into the buckle until a click 
sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, press the 
release button  .
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sud-
den stop or on impact. It may also lock if you 
lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy 
motion will allow the belt to extend so that 
you can move around fully.
■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is com-
pletely extended and then retracted even 
slightly, the belt is lock ed in that position and 
cannot be extended. This feature is used to 
hold a child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To 
free the belt again, fu lly retract the belt and 
then pull the belt out once more.
The front seats are equipped with 
guides to allow the seat belt to be 
extended easily. When it is difficult to 
extend the seat belt, pass the seat belt 
through the guide.
When getting into or out of a rear seat, 
release the seat belt from the guide.

restraint
WARNING
●Do not wear the seat  belt extender if 
you can fasten the seat belt without the 
extender.
●Do not use the seat belt extender 
when installing a child restraint system 
because the belt will not securely hold 
the child restraint  system, increasing 
the risk of death or serious injury in the 
event of an accident.
●The personalized extender may not be 
safe on another vehicle, when used by 
another person, or at a different seat-
ing position other than the one origi-
nally intended.
